East Rim Track (Full)

Running from Fitzroy Falls Visitor Centre to Warrawong lookout in the northern section of the park, this self-guided wildflower walk is a nature-lover’s dream. (You can also combine this trac with the West Rim track to make a longer walk - the East Rim track is the less busy/popular option, and not as spectacular as the West Rim Track).

Offering a delightful excursion through diverse native plants and trees, the East Rim Wildflower walking track is both scenic and informative. Spot the colourful flowers as you roam the track past a cornucopia of plant communities including dry eucalypt forests, grassy woodlands, heathlands and rainforest areas just bursting with birds. You’ll encounter spectacular lookouts with views over the valley as you go, along with helpful signs pointing out interesting flowers, useful hints and details on changing environment.

Erith Coal Mine Track

This short, steep walk through woodland, heath and rainforest leads to a mine that was open from the 1860s to 1915. The metre thick coal seam was of poor quality and only used for goods engines. For safety reasons, fencing prevents entry to the mine. This walk can also be undertaken from the Erith Coal Mine car park off Echo Point Road.

Lake Yarrunga view

Views of the stored water above Tallowa Dam.

This walk is part of the Three Views Trail which has to be one of the easiest, most accessible and rewarding walks in Kangaroo Valley. The trail passes through open woodland and sandstone heath vegetation with spectacular wildflower displays in late winter and spring. There are three separate cliff edge sites with dramatic views over the Shoalhaven gorge towards the Ettrema Wilderness. The trail follows the Brooks Plateau and Moolatoo Trig fire trails within Morton National Park and is virtually flat, making it ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels; however, there are unfenced cliff edges. You can spend one or two hours doing the shorter walks or spend most of the day exploring all three.
